Things I've Read, A Mixed Bag, Female-Lead Fan
Male leads must be chaste. I’ll write more about the ones I like and remember well, including what I liked or disliked. I might not finish every book I start following, but I’ve read at least 60% of everything on this list.
If You Spent the Money, Let the Chef Fire Up the Wok!
No prefab junk. I only pay for sincere works, and I'm in for completed stories.
Mary Sue Wish-Fulfillment Romance
A mix of genres, including bad women, female leads who've only been with women and male leads who've only been with men, power fantasies, GB, and multiple male leads. (Updated from time to time.)
Archive of My Ratings for Books I've Read
Protagonist-focused, female-led, women hold the emotional upper hand, polyamory, and everyone falls for the protagonist
Strong Female Lead, Multiple Male Leads, Everyone’s Favorite
All in. Strong female leads, mentally and materially. But I especially love stories where you can see the women achieve real growth; those are marked with an asterisk.
Everyone's Favorite Heroine
The author doesn't dwell on the heroine's looks, instead highlighting her abilities, personality, and other charms. Male rivalry, men getting hurt, love triangles, everyone falling for her, beta heroine.
Some Delicious Harem Novels
Mostly all-in relationships, GB, or BG, plus cultivation, fantasy, derivative works, and anime fanfics. Damn Jinjiang won't let me give everything five stars.
Favorites
Delicious BG, no-CP, nonhuman, and twin stories.
Everyone's Favorite, More Powerful Women, Please
BG, with all kinds of heroines, but guaranteed love rivals, great writing, and plenty of appeal. I love Western fantasy, crossover anime, ABO, and pseudo-incest, especially when the plot and romance get equal attention.
The Human Heart
Spicy????
Female-Protagonist Harem Reads
Note from 2026.3.28: I no longer use Jinjiang, so this list will no longer be updated.
A Personal Reading List for Fanfiction Lovers
Personal taste. Mostly fanfiction, with few original works. Quite a few are abandoned or got very bad reviews. If you like them, help yourself. Unstable updates and abandoned works get an automatic deduction if they're behind a paywall.
Books with a Strong Female Perspective
The female leads generally have a strong sense of self-worth and are formidable in every sense, mentally or physically. You can feel that the authors genuinely love their female leads. Most are derivative works.
Everyone's Favorite: BG
Both ongoing and complete stories. Continuously updated. I’m a female-lead enthusiast and love doting on female leads. I like girls with a dominant vibe. Lots of four-star ratings because I’m not allowed to give five stars.
Garden Mutual Aid
Feel-good, crowd-pleasing harem stories
Pretty Good Romance Novels
Worth a read
Female-Lead Fans and Some Especially Good Stories
The core: love the heroine, love the heroine, love the heroine. The genres are all over the place. I'll add tropes I personally find delightful as I come across them.

When are you going to write about the heroine's friend Ying Shanyue? I feel like she's a very interesting person by piecing together some scraps☝️
Hug you and show me that I feel sorry for you, teacher!!! How can you live such a hard life?!! Sure enough, pain breeds beautiful words, hahahaha. I wish you better and better days and make more money. Even if you have money, don't forget to produce more beautiful words for us 🐶
Dad, you are finally back!! Fortunately, I clicked in to take a look today! You know how happy I am to see your update!!! This book is my spiritual food for March. I really like the heroine and the story you wrote!! You must keep writing! I feel like this book has the potential to become a hit!! By then, there won't be so many bad things to do if you can gain wealth and freedom by writing articles!
Teacher, when will we resume updating?
It's so sympathetic. A wet sponge will be dry after squeezing out the water, but the boss thinks it is a wet sponge. What does it mean? It means that you can still squeeze it. The sight is all the time, and the physical strength is squeezed out. When you go home, it will shake like dominoes in the box. Yes. I'm hinting at the subway. When I get home, I order a good-quality and low-priced meal. My salary is as fragmented as the meal. I'm trying to stay alive by watching videos. I'm so tired at work. I really want to be like a sample. I don't have to do anything. I just put it wherever I want. It's like being a salted fish.
The teacher is so talented. I believe you will be able to find your favorite job and return in the best condition [Spread Flowers]
Come on, author, this book is really good and interesting. I hope everything goes well for you. I graduated this year and haven't found a job yet. I'm also very anxious during this time. Your article makes me feel relaxed.
Hug from the teacher, the current environment is not good, and the work is so oppressive. Resigning is definitely good for your mental health. In today's society, people are starving, so don't be too anxious. It is the most unworthy thing to waste your health on garbage work [Rose]
God, this is so pretty
Damn, when will you come back and update the article? I really like this story and talk.
